G,day Chris My first scope after lots of research was an 8 inch cass for i had limited space but that pesky fork and wedge made viewing anything around the pole IMPOSSIBLE so i went for a HEQ5 ( Equatorial) mount and nearly gave up as it took too long to set up. now i have it down to an art and can get it aligned rather quickly.
Not trying to put you off, but just letting you know of my experience. I had thought all of my boxes were ticked and after some teething they are.
Good luck on your choice DO NOT get disheartened a bad night viewing is still better than a good day at work
